Arena da Amazônia is a football stadium in Manaus, Amazonas state, Brazil, completed for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. It replaced the former Vivaldão stadium on the same site and features a distinctive façade designed for ventilation and rain protection in the tropical climate.
The stadium’s bowl and pitch are scaled for professional football with seating for roughly 44,000 spectators and facilities for concerts and large events. It hosted multiple 2014 World Cup matches and continues to be a venue for national competitions and events.
Built between 2010 and 2014 as part of Brazil’s World Cup infrastructure program, the project included new spectator facilities, player areas and media zones designed to meet FIFA requirements. The design emphasises airflow and shade to mitigate Manaus’s hot, humid conditions.
Arena da Amazônia sits in the city of Manaus near the Rio Negro, within the Amazonas state in northwest Brazil; the stadium is in an urban setting and serves as one of the city’s primary large-capacity venues.
- Capacity and World Cup role: Seating capacity is about 44,000, and the stadium was one of the venues built or rebuilt for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
